If Cambodia has Angkor Wat, the largest Hindi temple, then Indonesia has the Prambanan Temple, located in Prambanan District, Sleman, Yogyakarta. It has 240 large and small temple complexes. However, currently there are only 18 remaining.
The main temple of Prambanan reflects the 'Trimurti' or the three main gods of Hindu: Brahma, Wishnu and Shiva. The number of temples in the original location has reminded us of Rara Jonggrang and her 1,000 temples myth.
3. Raja Ampat
